In this course, students will explore the social, economic, and ideological basis of social problems in American society. This course is grounded in a sociological approach, applying different theoretical perspectives and research methods to identify and understand contemporary social problems. Students will examine problems as they relate to social inequality, identity, wellbeing, and institutions. Students will engage material to understand the extent of each problem, how these problems arise in society, and consider possible solutions. The relationship between social problems and organizational policies will also be discussed, particularly in regard to social policy approaches. Global contexts are incorporated when international comparisons offer solutions for consideration.
